Joyce Forbes Dr. Mic Kinney Was wonderful working with me as a patient. Now I need to find another Doctor as who regards my issues as well as he did. I just was put though a procedure that Dr. Mic Kinney would not have put me through. Because of that I cried the entire time of the procedure because of the pain...knowing what the outcome would be. Im so sorry he wont be here. I will have to find someone as capationit. I had another doctor called me with the results...I saw the results and disagree with them. As far as the difference from Dr. MicKinney. The caller from their whidbey office my over and over said their was no other way and that he can tell by very dense breasts. Dr McKinney found a way. With ultra sound I think without pain. I cant find it right now, but I will be sure to add the info. Thank you, Joyce

Adrienne Walker My name is Adrienne Walker. I have been to see Dr. Fisher 2 times and, both, times have been wonderful experiences. He is very knowledgeable and professional and he listens to his patients. I have had chronic pain for years and Dr. Fisher is the first doctor to alleviate that pain. It was a beautiful thing! He is the best doctor I have ever had. I highly recommend Dr. Fisher, to anyone looking for quality care and compassion. You couldnt find a better doctor, anywhere!

Tom Morio Had asthma issues and was seen immediately. Was impressed with their care and their concerns in seeing my condition improve rapidly. Dr Matthews and her team were the greatest!

Stephanie M I absolutely love Dr. Thorpe, he’s been my PCP since I first moved here a few years ago and I’m grateful for him. I have had no problems getting referrals to all of the specialists I have needed, he’s gone above and beyond to get my insurance to cover medications I’ve needed that they denied, and he’s just an all-around personable and friendly guy. He has no problem explaining things in a way that are easily understandable, which is hard to come by in a doctor.

Mary Hull I appreciate the gentle, loving care I have experienced for my dog with both veterinarians and the extended staff. Im so glad to know that I can rely on excellent care for my beloved pup!

Heather F Just moved back to WI and had switched care to North Island Medical. My spouse and I had our new patient appts with a Dr Fisher. Dr Fisher was so kind, thurough, truly cared about our health. The staff was friendly, so far so good in my opinion.

Jack Alexander I went to a doctor appointment so I could establish care with a new doctor in freeland. Since they get a new doctor every 6 months for some reason. They work with the walk in clinic and share information in the system. to preface this off, I wannan say I have Been calling them, sitting on hold just about an hour every time, listening to the same two hold music songs so i could ask about how they said Id be getting a call about a consultation for my collarbone since I went in there over a week ago. First time I called, they said "Ill send you your x rays on email" and I said "I already got my x rays when I went into the walk in clinic 3 days ago" then they said, "well what do you want?" I said "I wanna know who they are referring me to." They said "I dont know yet. Is there anything else you want me to help you with?" I calledtgree to four days later and they said the same thing, then, I actually went in there foe my therapy appointment and talked to my therapist. My therapist and I talked to a lady who worked there, and said "hey he has a displaced broken collarbone and they said they were gonna get him a referral for a consultation, can you get Nancy to let him know about it?" The lady said "I dont work with that department and Nancy isnt here, referrals usually take 10-14 business days, unless theyre urgent." My therapist said, "yeah, but hes in a lot of pain, can you at least let them know" the lady said "I know, but if its been a while since the fracture, its not urgent but ill write it down". she wrote my name and birth date on a paper towel, and probably threw it away because the new doctor I was seeing just started working there and didnt even know I had a broken collarbone. I told him about it, he couldnt find any record of it, when he finally did, he said that "well, I just started working here 2 weeks ago, but on behalf of whidbey primary care, I am sorry, your fracture report got lost, we dropped the ball" I said, "well I tried calling like 2-3 times and talked to someone face to face and they said it would take 14 business days" he said "what? Thats crazy? Maybe if youre getting a colonoscopy! Wha- thats crazy! It shouldnt take that long for a displaced fracture with little pieces broken. You shouldve gotten in right away!" He said I would be getting a call today or tomorrow from an orthopedic surgeon. I would rate them 4 stars before this happened because my only problem at that point was they had a med doctor who they had working in freeland primary care for a week but moved her all the way to oak harbor. I also would have given them more stars because of the new therapist and new doctor was helpful since he finally got notified about my broken collarbone, however, its unbelievable the amount of excruciating pain Ive been in BECAUSE of freeland primary care. I honestly think some people should be fired and some legal action should be filed against them with stuff like this going on

Kristine Pitsch-Weible My mother had surgery on January 08 and everyone from the check in receptionist to Dr. J. Reem did a wonderful job. Their care and attitude were warm and welcoming. Special kudos to anesthesiologist Erica McDonald who went beyond the extra mile to address our concerns and make us feel at ease. Thank you!
